The weekend is no longer the pristine marker of fun and games that it used to be in my childhood but it does serve as a bit of breathing space from my own idiocy and inability to maintain any kind of deadline or schedule. So the college student weekend ( at least my version of [...]

These posts are just inane, but I promised to write one a day, and I’d like to at least pretend to stick with it. At the moment, I’m sick and dirty and smelly and brain dead because becoming even mildly sick with a cold or flu seems to drain my body of the will to [...]

Uterus again. Stupid, stupid uterus. But beautiful, beautiful House and Big Bang Theory. Made my night. Sick to my throat and nose. Gonna get kicked out of the DMC lab soon. Haven’t got any reading or homework done. But it’s all good. I’m going to sleep, and wake up tomorrow a new woman.

Ta-Nehisi Coates’ blog posts on President-Elect Obama got me thinking about the expectations made of a poster child for an ethnicity or race. American Heritage defines a “poster child” as “A person who is a prominent example or type of something” which can just as easily be applied to the evils of a certain set [...]

I, Esther Kim, do pledge that from here on out, no matter how crappy or destroyed or tired or squidgy I’m feeling, will post a post each day until I die or the internet does. And along those lines, I forgot to blog about the election. But it’s alright. Everyone else did it for me, [...]

Yesterday was an odd but beautiful sort of day: the kind of day that I look for everyday but if I got it would make my life much more interesting than I could possibly handle. It started with an afternoon expedition to the Sakura Matsuri Festival on Penn Ave under the imminent threat of rain. [...]

In this year of 2008, we have reached the beginning of a new spring, with bird song and blossoming plants serving as apprehensively viewed harbingers of the season. The wind holds a promise of change but all one must do to ignore this call is to hide in the depths of a cave of one’s [...]

What a load of crock. We might not exactly be able to plan our future, and shit happens, whether it be good or bad, but that doesn’t mean you can’t place yourself on a path, if you really want to. Possibly, I’m being a bit too reactionary. My idea of the world is moderation in [...]

Good Day. It started out with E-dawg coming over to make lemon thumbprint cookies and listen to musicals and generally chat about stuff. I attempted to waltz and actually managed to make cheese puffs a la Alice Waters. I’m so glad I’m friends with Elaine. It’s been nigh on twelve years of knowing each other, and [...]
